Mines - Hercules
The Hercules group
of claims included the Crown-granted Glacier, Martha Ellen, Cornelius, Empire, and Leckie Fraction, which were located north of the
Big Missouri property.
Surface pits, trenches, and
underground workings are readily accessible from the Granduc road
which crosses the old property limits.
The surface mineralization now visible
in
the cuts and trenches consists of irregular quartz stockworks and sulphide pods
and
lenses filling irregular fractures in northwesterly trending shear zones developed
in
variably schistose green volcanic conglomerates.
Pyritized and silicified country rocks
on the property contain scattered fine-grained pyrite, galena, and chalcopyrite
with
erratic gold-silver values.
